The Gilroy High field hockey team remains undefeated in the Mt. Hamilton A League. 

Gilroy rode strong second and fourth quarters to defeat Pajaro Valley 29-19 on Senior Night Saturday.

GILROY—Just hours before his tournament championship game, Nate Schilling was practicing his shooting with his dad. The pointers his dad gave him—keep your elbow straight and get a lot of arch on your shot—resonated through Schilling’s head all game and helped him out his recent shooting funk—not to mention being Oakwood’s leading scorer, too.

Christopher ended the regular season on a high note, beating Monterey 7-5 Thursday at home. 

Katrina Carter earned a foul in the final minutes of Gilroy's game with Presentation and that was exactly the situation her team wanted. 

GILROY—All the other matches had wrapped up, but Christopher’s Adena Chen and Gilroy’s Jessica Martin weren’t quite finished with each other yet.

GILROY — No matter what Christopher did, Cole Welle had an answer.

It was a tough battle for Christopher, but the Cougars persevered.

SALINAS—Gilroy stopped Alisal on its opening drive on a three and out. The ensuing punt was bobbled and the Trojans turned it into a quick 6-0 lead.

GILROY—Interim Cougar coach Aaron Bembry gave his players a challenge at halftime. He told them they could either pack it in or show Palma their true character. They gave him an answer almost immediately and emerged as a different team in the second half. But unfortunately for the home team, it ran out of time and fell 35-14 Friday to the Chieftains.
